I think your still wrapped up on NA cars. Turbo's are totally different. The weather is illing you, nevermind the air quality at that track sucks.

You should come to NED this saturday and run the X275. Track will hook like a bastard and the sea level is a lot better.

Makes sense. Guys down here with turbo cars are always messing with there tune ups cause of the humidity and heat. Then in the winter it's either cold one day then 75-80 the next.

Ya i've always heard LVD was a terrible track for times. I'm going to try my best to come up there i wanted to at least make some passes obv wont do be half as fast as all you guys but will be fun to get out there

How do you like the drag radials? was this on friday? you should make an account on 1320go.com and keep track of all your DAs and such, makes it less of a guessing game

SD tuning is not hard to get. Mine still runs on the tune from the winter.I turned up the boost more and didn't touch the tune at all.

There are a lot slower cars than yours running. Both races so far were won by the slower cars due to the high hp cars spinning.

I'd also watch out on some info your getting. Cranking the timing up down low can take out a piston quickly on the street.

I actually never touched my tune its been really good timing has been the same street/strip. I actually have added 8psi so far on the same tune and it looks great . I was just thinking of ways to spool it instantly on the brake but maybe a bad idea on stock pistons like you saod..I wasn't getting ibto pushing it yet only thing I changed was a little ve when i got the billet wheel. Just was ttalking about all those guys aadjusting their tune pass to pass chasing a magic number lol.

I love the pro's only got 2 passes out of them off the brake but launched at 13psi got a 1.4 so pretty happy with that. Ran what Don recommended 16psi and the tires barely need a burnout it seems. So with the tires and the vikings i should be able to get a decent 60' now
This was Sat. it was hot and humid i think the DA was 3500 when i checked. Alright i will make an account there just sent all my paperwork in today for the license so i'll be able to go out and make some full passes everytime.

You have to load the car on the footbrake before the transbrake. If you just roll up and hit the trans brake it will take forever to spool. Main reason why turbo cars have manual brakes.

I also think you do not have a 2-step.Thats needed and a reason why the 60' is so slow at 13psi. At 13psi it should go on the bumper.

Ya i can def see why you run 2 rear calipers. I load them as hard as I can on the footbrake then transbrake. Also have the pulse leash just haven't used it yet. I do have a msd 2 step but havent used that either. I guess i should get my ass in gear. I was surprised it actually hooked at 13 I figured something was up. Ok next time out ill work on the 2 step and pulse box. Thanks for the advice Don I honestly didn't think I needed the 2 step just yet. One thing I do need to buy is an electronic boost controller just wanted to take a break from spending money but guess if I wanted to do that i shshouldnt of done a turbo car LOL

So basically have the 2step build 8-10psi at a lower rpm will get me out of the hole better? Just trying to understand better.
